I bit my tongue a little last week when some of the more obsequious comments regarding danny Mills were posted but after Saturday I have got to say it. I would gladly drive him one way to any other club he wants to go to. His behaviour on saturday was outrageous, petulant, childish and not only did he let his team mates down then he has let them down for Wednesday and next Saturday. More importantly he let the Club and the supporters down If, as has been mooted, he had some form of preconceived idea to do that knowing he only had two games left here then it would make it even worse. How some people hold him in the stead they do is beyond me. He is no more than an average player earning more in a week than most in a year and if he cant be bothered to do that with some form of professional pride then he can stick his contract where the sun dont shine. I for one want Charlton players in Charlton shirts and this guy isnt fit enough to tie Matt Hollands boots in terms of endeavour and honesty yet most people here seem to rever him as some God. He wasnt wanted last time round and I for one dont want him this time round.

People like Mills as a player because his style of play suggests he is noticeably giving his all, which people warm to.
But that Saturday was stupid and selfish. All players lose their heads occassionally in a moment of madness, but that appeared calculated, and had been building up to it over the last month.
Draw a line and move on.
Someones tired!!
Did you see the picture of Gumbo and his handiwork in the Antigallican?
He tells Pards to f=ck off, then what? Pards threatens to drop him?
Sadly there is nothing the club can do to punish Mills apart from perhaps fine him a weeks wages.
Some will say that Mills' blood and thunder approach demonstrates his 'commitment', but I doubt anyone had given him a second thought when Moo2 started the season so well.
Others, like Holland, get on with it in their own way and even when not playing that well, don't hide and still show for the ball etc, and will acknowledge the fans at the end of the game.
Getting redcarded on Saturday was foolish and petulant, particularly when it was for dissent, but I don't think Mills did it deliberately, that's just the player he is and opposing managers know that he's the type who's likely to self-combust when needled and they get their teams to play to that, and too often it works. At 29, he still has a lot of football left in him, but there can't be that many teams in either the Premiership or CCC that can afford his current wages and will be reluctant to take pn his reputation.
